PyGILState_Ensure() doesn't call PyEval_InitThreads() anymore when a
new Python thread state is created. The GIL is created by
Py_Initialize() since Python 3.7, it's not needed to call
PyEval_InitThreads() explicitly.
Add an assertion to ensure that the GIL is already created.
Add _bootsubprocess module to bootstrap Python: subprocess
implementation which only uses the os module.
On AIX, distutils.util uses _aix_support which calls
subprocess.check_output(), before the _posixsubprocess module is
built. Implement check_output() with os.system() in _bootsubprocess.
Clear the frames of daemon threads earlier during the Python shutdown to
call objects destructors. So "unclosed file" resource warnings are now
emitted for daemon threads in a more reliable way.
Cleanup _PyThreadState_DeleteExcept() code: rename "garbage" to
"list".
* Remove ceval parameter of take_gil(): get it from tstate.
* Move exit_thread_if_finalizing() call inside take_gil(). Replace
exit_thread_if_finalizing() with tstate_must_exit(): the caller is
now responsible to call PyThread_exit_thread().
* Move is_tstate_valid() assertion inside take_gil(). Remove
is_tstate_valid(): inline code into take_gil().
* Move gil_created() assertion inside take_gil().
python-gdb.py now checks for "take_gil" function name to check if a
frame tries to acquire the GIL, instead of checking for
"pthread_cond_timedwait" which is specific to Linux and can be a
different condition than the GIL.
It appears standard that moving the text insert cursor away from a selection clears the
selection. Clearing prevents accidental deletion of a possibly off-screen bit of text.
The update is for Ln and Col on the status bar.
* exit_thread_if_finalizing() does now access directly _PyRuntime
variable, rather than using tstate->interp->runtime since tstate
can be a dangling pointer after Py_Finalize() has been called.
* exit_thread_if_finalizing() is now called *before* calling
take_gil(). _PyRuntime.finalizing is an atomic variable,
we don't need to hold the GIL to access it.
* Add ensure_tstate_not_null() function to check that tstate is not
NULL at runtime. Check tstate earlier. take_gil() does not longer
check if tstate is NULL.
Cleanup:
* PyEval_RestoreThread() no longer saves/restores errno: it's already
done inside take_gil().
* PyEval_AcquireLock(), PyEval_AcquireThread(),
PyEval_RestoreThread() and _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault() now check if
tstate is valid with the new is_tstate_valid() function which uses
_PyMem_IsPtrFreed().
We make `|=` raise TypeError, since it would be surprising if `C.__dict__ |= {'x': 0}` silently did nothing, while `C.__dict__.update({'x': 0})` is an error.
The Py_FatalError() function is replaced with a macro which logs
automatically the name of the current function, unless the
Py_LIMITED_API macro is defined.
Changes:
* Add _Py_FatalErrorFunc() function.
* Remove the function name from the message of Py_FatalError() calls
which included the function name.
* Update tests.
Convert _PyRuntimeState.finalizing field to an atomic variable:
* Rename it to _finalizing
* Change its type to _Py_atomic_address
* Add _PyRuntimeState_GetFinalizing() and _PyRuntimeState_SetFinalizing()
functions
* Remove _Py_CURRENTLY_FINALIZING() function: replace it with testing
directly _PyRuntimeState_GetFinalizing() value
Convert _PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState() to static inline function.
